The 164 Q4 is a great topic for Autoniusy, because it’s one of those cars that still doesn’t cost crazy money, but is already starting to be treated as a collector’s car.
Alfa Romeo 164 Q4 — how much is it worth today?
The Q4 is by far the most interesting version of the 164: a 3.0 V6 24V, 231–232 hp, permanent four-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual. 0–100 km/h takes around 7.5–7.7 seconds, with a top speed of roughly 240–245 km/h.
And most importantly — prices have already moved well beyond those of regular 164s.
Current European listings show:
- €10,900 – accident-repaired example, 190,000 km
- €12,500 – non-running, 118,000 km
- €18,450 – original, 88,500 km
- €23,500 – original, 101,500 km
- €27,500 – Recaro-equipped example, 181,000 km
There’s even a 164 Q4 with 49,900 km listed at €43,900 on AutoScout24.
So today, you could say that a good Q4 is roughly €18,000–30,000, while really exceptional, low-mileage examples are starting to reach around €40,000.
And that’s exactly where I’d take the story:
“Alfa Romeo 164 Q4 – once a fast Italian sedan, now an increasingly sought-after youngtimer. Are its prices about to take off?”
Because the most interesting thing about the Q4 isn’t even the 232 hp.
It’s the fact that in the mid-1990s, you could get an Italian V6 sedan with a six-speed manual and an advanced 4x4 system, capable of around 240 km/h. The drivetrain used the Viscomatic system with a central viscous coupling and a Torsen rear differential.
And this is exactly the kind of car people might be talking about ten years from now saying: “Fuck… we should have bought one when they were €15,000.”
